Ohio Gov. DeWine Announces Replacement For Vance In US Senate

Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance is about to be sworn in as the next vice president of the United States, leaving a vacancy from his state in the U.S. Senate.

But that was rectified on Friday by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) when he announced that his lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, will be appointed by him to take Vance’s place.
“There were many people who I considered very qualified to serve in the U.S. Senate to represent the State of Ohio, but I came to the conclusion that the best person to serve is a person who has been close to me for the last six years – a person who I work with almost daily – and that is Lt. Governor Jon Husted,” the governor said in a press release. “I have worked with him, I know he is knowledgeable, I know his heart, I know what he cares about, and I know his skills. All of that tells me he is the right person for the job.”

“I know Ohio well, and I will fight for Ohio as a U.S. senator,” Husted added.”I look forward to working with President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the Republican majority who have an America First agenda to fight inflation, stop illegal immigration, and advance conservative values.”

“My time here at the Statehouse has been a true joy, but representing Ohio in the U.S. Senate is an amazing opportunity,” he noted further. “It is something that an adopted kid who grew up on County Road J in Montpelier, Ohio, could have never imagined.”
